Kaganof’s Phone Film

The Sunday Times just covered Kaganof’s new project - a film shot entirely with cell phones:

Next Wave Festival March 2006/ Call for work

There’s another great art / curatorial project coming up from Cape Town-based Ralph Borland, and this one is calling for work for him to bring to a big ole festival in Australia:

upgrade in process

Well, all the plug-ins (or at least comparable ones) that I want are finally available for Wordpress 2.0, so am upgrading right now. Please forgive if "email to friend" is broken for a li’l bit, and lemme know if you encounter any other bugs. The only thing I’m changing on the front page is that [...]
